Feel Unique Haul '13

A couple of days ago I ordered a few things on FeelUnique so I thought that I would bring you a little haul.


Some of these products are what I have been wanting to try for a while and the others are just items that I needed to pick up.


As i already have quite a few real Techniques products I decided that i had to get my hands on this product I watch a lot of Pixiwoo's YouTube videos and Samantha Chapman is the founder of the company. This product reminds me of the beauty blender which i own, the only difference i can tell at the moment is that the beauty blender is a little firmer than this product seems.
This product is the Miracle Complexion Sponge, i just cant wait to use this.
This product cost £4.99


This product is just a organic muslin cloth, I picked this product up because i needed to buy a new one because my other ones are getting a little old and tatty.
This product is from The Organic Pharmacy,
It's made of 100% organic cotton.
This product cost £3.80


When I first came across this product on the website it really interested me, It's from a brand called 'The Konjac Sponge Co' this is a company that I have never heard of before, but the idea of the product really apealed to me. This is a sponge that is made out of 100% natural vegetable fibres with bamboo charcoal. This sponge is recommended for oily + spot prone skin. It s called Konjac puff sponge. This product can be used like any normal sponge, you can use this to take of make up to generally cleanse face. I probably wont use my cleanser on this just because its got products already infused within the sponge so I wouldn't want to mix them. This product cost me £6.99 I know that seems a lot for what it is, but I was really intrigued by the product I may do a review of this product when/If I see any results with it.


This is the L'oreal Paris Skin Perfection, 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Solution, I have seen a lot of hype around this product on a lot of beauty blogs and YouTubers. This seems to have a lot of comparisons to the Bioderma which is a water based cleanser. I have been wanting to get my hands on Bioderma for a while, but then this came along. This product is a lot easier to buy than Bioderma so I thought I would give this a try first plus its cheaper. This claims to dissolve make up, unclog pores and remove impurities it also claims to tone and soothe the skin.
This product cost me £4.99


Caudalie Instant Foam Cleanser in Grapes & Sage, this product can be used on all skin types. I like the fact that it is a foam cleanser as I believe that the product goes further. This product cost me £19.80 as it was buy two get the second half price so  I thought I might as well get two.

Thank you so much for reading if you would like me to review any of the above products just leave a quick comment telling me what you would like to know and which product.
Many thanks love

Mini haul

Hello guys well I went into my local town last Saturday and bought a few little bits so I thought I would do a little haul.
I bought these items from 3 shops, Superdrug, Tesco and a little independent card shop.


it was only a few items but I was very excited about trying all of them so I had to do a blogpost.

 
 Maybelline - Baby lips
Well I have been waiting for the release of these in the UK for what seems like a life time. They are finally here so I got a little bit excited.
I only picked up two shades this time but I'm sure I will love them both. 

The shade on the left is Cherry Me, and the shade on the right is Pink Punch.

They were £3.00 each
But I got them on offer in Tesco and they were 2 for £5.00
To buy cherry Me click here
To buy Pink Punch click here

Bourjois Paris - Colour boost, Glossy finish lipstick.
I bought this product from Superdrug and it cost me £7.99
This is in shade 04 peach on the beach
To buy me click here


Bourjois Paris Bronzing Powder
shade 12 fair - medium skin
to buy me click here for £8.99


Yankee Candle
Waikiki Melon
I has to buy this minature as soon as I smelt it, it smelt like a hair product my mum used to use on my when I was a child so I was inclined to buy it
It cost me £1.80, I don't have a link for this product because the shop I bought it from doesn't have a website.
But I would recommend it to anyone!!

Thanks for reading I have a lot more posts coming this month so keep your eyes peeled!!
Lots of love

Glossy Box August

So I don't want to start another post off, with me apologising for my lack of content this month. If you are curious to where I have been I might do a post about all of that.

Anyway moving onto the post, as every month comes by I get excited for the day that the Glossy Box gets dropped at my front door. As many of you know (if you don't check out my post) last months box was amazing. The packaging and the content were just really well designed and put together.

Its back to the original packaging again, there is not much to say about the packaging with out repeating previous posts.


As usual you get a leaflet inside with a lot of information about the products you have received and useful tips about how to use the products. In this leaflet there was a beauty insider section about Rachel Kavanagh (CEO, GLOSSYBOX UK). She was given 5 questions which she has answered. This box was called High-flyers, and all of the products in the box are from various place. Such as UK, USA, Brazil and Sweden

I know what you are all reading this for and thinking get on with it what did you get?


I got 5 products close ups and detail below.


Juicy Couture - Viva La Juicy Noir
This perfume, is lovely its very sweet smelling. I would say its quite a young scent and probably not to everyone's taste. I personally love it but that's just me. I received a 1.5 ml  bottle which to be honest isn't that much but its enough to for a couple of uses. I don't think I would purchase the full size of this product just because of the price and the fact that I'm not totally blown away by the product. 
Product of USA


Oceane - Make up remover
This is basically a little 'felt tip pen' type of make up remover. My personal opinion on this product is that I think it looks a little cheap. It doesn't looks very nice and without sounding awful it looks like something you could pick it up in a pound store. It comes with 4 tips that are all reversible.
This product is not currently available to buy in the UK 
Product of Brazil


Emite Make Up - Eyelash Curler
I was very excited to receive this product its obviously a 'full size' product. I love this colours the effects. I just totally adore this product. I have ditched my old eyelash curlers and these have taken their place.
Product of Sweden


TRESemme - Platinum strength concentrated treatment shot
I wasn't totally blown away by receiving this product, I used it the night I got the box and I don't believe that it did a whole lot of good for my hair. But maybe its my hair type I don't know.
Product of USA


Jelly Pong Pong - 2in1 Shadow/liner
I love this product when I received the box I swatched it and it looked amazing so creamy and pigmented. It looks like a brilliant product and I cant wait to create a look with this product.
Product of UK

Thank you for reading if you would like to know any further information on any of the products about of a deeper review on any of them just let me know in the comments and I will be sure to do so.
See you soon
Lot's of love

Under Construction

You may have noticed that I have made a few changes to my blog, I am trying to create a space online that reflects my personality more than it did before. You may need to bare with me as there may be a few changes. But I promise you it will all be back and running smoothly soon and looking better than ever!

Whilst I'm writing this I thought I would give you a few updates.
I am currently really busy between working two jobs and studying, I have been trying to keep on top of everything and yes it is paying of. If there is a lack of posts then you know why. I have a lot of posts lined up. I still have posts to go up about my weekend in London so keep your eyes peeled as they are likely to go up with in the next few days.

July Favourites

Before I start this post, where has July gone!! This year is wizzing by.
I have a few July favourites, but to be totally honest with you I haven't really used any different products because all of the products I do use are brilliant for me.



These are a few of the nail polishes I have been loving this month, they are all super bright and colourful. I love to wear bright colours especially in summer. I know there are a lot of shades, but I have generally been loving them all and couldn't choose just one.
Top to bottom
Collection - 59 Look At Me
Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine 305 Green Berry
Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Prickly Pear (i think)
Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine 303 Pomegranate


Schwarzkopf got2be Beach matt
I love this product I have really long hair and when I don't have a lot of time you can just spray this in your hair whether it's wet or dry it works. I love this it gives you beachy waves, it makes your waves look really defined and tousled. Its such a quick effortless way to make your hair look LOVELY!!


Garnier eye roll on, not sure on shade.
I have had this product for ages, but I totally forgot I had it. You may think that the way I use this product is very weird. But instead of using this as a under eye roll on I use this as a light foundation. Because the weather has been so lovely I haven't wanted to wear a huge amount of make up especially foundation as it just makes you feel like your about to melt even more. This product is so unbelievable light on the skin. It still covers up those nasty red blemishes though! I love this soo much and no doubt I will continue to love it until the end of summer.

Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer in shade 103 True Ivory
I love this, i use this as a under eye concealer and sometimes on the odd blemish or two. This had light to medium coverage and its perfect for those no make up make up days. It makes you looks super awake and makes you under eyes look a lot brighter.


EOS Lip Balm In Strawberry Sorbet
This product has been my life saver this month, as I have said it has been super warm. I still get really dehydrated lips and this has saved me, I believe it contains a SPF of either 8-15 I'm not 100% but Its lovely It tastes good smells good and does a good job. Couldn't be any better if you ask me.

thanks for reading don't forget to leave me a comment and tell me the things that you have been loving this July. Or if you have a July favourites post feel free to leave the link in the comments and I will be sure to check it out.
Lot's of love
